Its pretty simple really. EC is like one of those murder-mysteries where everyone is having affairs with everyone else. And instead of there being only one killer, everyone trying to kill everyone else. Except OI, who spend the whole story accidently locked in a closet...

They've probably won more battles than Westmoor

Bazinga!

I'm very quickly realizing this.

I'm very quickly realizing this.

It's been that way since day one. The only time they were pivotal in events is when One Rogala took over, and split off Avamar Selective. Then 3/4 of the island invaded them. Other than that, it's pretty much a waste.

Yeah. I'm bored as heck. Will probably leave soon.

Which, I hate to do. I'de rather say, "Ok, this place is boring, I should try to make it exciting." But I can't really figure out any way to actually do that. We just keep fighting this war against the Sultanate and honestly we are getting no where (and slightly beaten) and.. yeah.

It's a consequence of their geography. The islands are poor, and have nasty travel times. This leads to a weak realm. Shady has the right idea in mind: Expand to the mainland. That means going after the Sultanate. But the problem there is they have to land on the shore right next to SoA's capital... Their only other alternative is to become muscle for SoA or Perdan, and devote themselves to long marches to fight battles.

Didn't they "become muscle" in the Perdan vs Caligus/Ibladesh war? I recall them showing up with like 5k cs max, twice. Got their asses handed to them, then had to march all the way home again.

They're too poor and too small to do anything. Might as well migrate and let the regions go rogue.

[Indirik]

I think they did show up once or twice. I vaguely recall something like that.

They obviously made a big impression on me, eh? I suppose that's pretty telling all by itself...

As a priest, who usually loves the method of travel for our class over the standard method, I can honestly say that travelling along the Obsidian Islands is a royal pain in the rear.  Between regions is usually 6 or more hours, and between the island chains?  11 to 20-some. 

Definitely takes some massive time pools to travel around. >.<

So... where to next for ole' Oswald?

I feel I'm left with a bad taste in my mouth for the EC since playing in OI. Should I give another realm a shot, or migrate to a different island?

Come to the Far East!  Arcaea can always use more nobles.

Outer Tilog. Get eaten by demons or something. Wear a business suit while you're at it with sneakers because you need to walk long distance to get to your videogame tournament at your frat house.

Just give it some time and Sirion will help OI get off those islands. Last weeks campaign was pretty messed up and badly coordinated and executed by both OI and Sirion, but that is no reason why they should be that in the future as well. We just have to work better on coordination and timing.

Come to Ibladesh! Winning!
